The Crazed Little Darling: Pampered by the Possesive Commander!-Chapter 327: Want You to Hold Me

"I want him to remember me forever."

Lu Zhiya’s voice was very soft.

"Love can’t make him remember."

"But guilt and unrequited love can."

Su Hanjing sighed, "I really can’t understand what’s going on in you Imperial people’s minds."

"Even though I’ve known you for decades, I still don’t get you."

Lu Zhiya smiled more gently, "That’s why I like this kind of Han Jing."

Straightforward and sincere, like an eagle soaring in the sky, with the power to control the sky.

"Cough..." Lu Zhiya coughed, her complexion paler than before.

Su Hanjing frowned deeply, "Your health..."

"It’s nothing," Lu Zhiya said softly, "It’s just the aftereffects of overusing my abilities."

In the Empire and Federation, unlike piloting Mechas with spiritual power, they awaken various abilities based on their Companion Beasts, like metal, wood, water, fire, and earth being the basics, and Su Hanjing has awakened the ability of a Clone.

She can split into a hundred clones simultaneously, seamlessly, without anyone noticing.

When Lu Zhiya doesn’t want to face people herself, she splits into several clones to handle things.

Of course, accidents happen occasionally, like one moment she’s discussing work with her subordinates in the council room, and the next she’s at the mall.

But Lu Zhiya handles these situations well, and Su Hanjing never worries about her.

Moreover, that’s a hundred clones she knew about twenty years ago. Who knows how powerful Lu Zhiya has become now.

Coexisting with her powerful ability is Lu Zhiya’s frail body.

A minor cold could nearly take half her life, let alone anything else.

Su Hanjing sighed, "You’re sending your clone to the Federation again?"

"Yes." Lu Zhiya responded softly, "He’s recently been helping Xiao Nian plan the throne matters."

Who "he" is doesn’t need saying.

Su Hanjing: ...

"Forget it, I’m tired of talking about you."

Su Hanjing waved her hand, "I need to go back, my family’s been clingy recently."

Lu Zhiya released Su Hanjing’s hand, smiling as she said, "Doesn’t Han Jing want to know about Ruan Ruan?"

Su Hanjing paused, "Isn’t Ruan Ruan on Tianhe Star?"

Only Tianhe Star can suppress her burgeoning spiritual power, and with Qingye watching over, she didn’t worry Ruan Ruan would leave.

Lu Zhiya shook her head, "She left long ago."

Su Hanjing’s pupils contracted sharply, hands resting on the table, "When did this happen?"

"Not sure," Lu Zhiya said softly, "By the way, I forgot to correct you earlier."

"We did become family."

"Xiao Nian and Ruan Ruan got married."

"I don’t know exactly what happened, my clone had a little issue, and the information I gathered was limited."

Lu Zhiya tilted her head, her gentle face showing a rare touch of childishness.

"Han Jing, the pregnancy I mentioned earlier, it should be Ruan Ruan who’s pregnant."

Su Hanjing’s brows furrowed deeply, "But Ruan Ruan’s body..."

"It should be fine," Lu Zhiya’s voice was light and soft, "They seem to have found a way to solve it."

Only then did Su Hanjing let out a breath.

"If not for that damned Lindong Star’s core binding me, I would have returned to the Federation long ago."

"How else would I have stayed in this lousy Empire for twenty years?"

She really couldn’t stand the Empire’s rigid rules, especially the absurd collective scheduling.

Even though she is now the Star Lord of Lindong Star, the Lindong Star core, having developed self-awareness, insists that she must cover Lindong Star’s surface eighty percent with green before allowing her to leave the Empire.

Not to mention plants are rare in the Empire, and with Lindong Star being in perpetual winter, surviving plants aren’t usually green; after working hard in the Empire for so long, she’s only managed to reach a greenery rate of thirty percent across the entire planet.

There’s still a fifty percent gap to reach eighty!

Thinking about this makes Su Hanjing angry, and her face darkens.

"Didn’t Wanling Star’s core ask you to do anything?"

Few in the Empire know that, aside from Zero Star, the cores of the Empire’s other four major planets have developed self-awareness and are bonded to their leaders.

These leaders are also called Star Lords.

In some sense, the Star Lords and the planets are interdependent and mutually constrain each other.

As far as she knows, the other planetary cores are not like Lindong Star’s core, demanding she achieve over eighty percent coverage of green.

The more Su Hanjing thought about it, the angrier she got.

Lu Zhiya laughed softly, "Lingling doesn’t ask me to do anything."

Su Hanjing: ...

"It’s just my Lindong Star’s core being troublesome."

Su Hanjing let out a sigh, "Fine, I’m heading back for now."

"After sorting things out on Lindong Star, I’m going back to the Federation."

"Goodbye."

Su Hanjing waved and quickly left.

Lu Zhiya watched her retreating figure, a gentle smile on her face.

A small ball of light floated out from behind her, its voice carrying a hint of childishness.

"Ya Ya, I’m hungry."

Lu Zhiya calmly responded, skillfully pricking her fingertip, allowing drops of blood to seep out.

The light orb eagerly nestled at her fingertip, swallowing the blood drops.

Lu Zhiya lowered her eyes, her complexion seemingly paler than before.

——————

Within the Federation, on Wood Peach Star.

The night was deep, and Su Ruan was already asleep.

The Snow Wolf that always watched over her suddenly transformed into a human form.

Lu Shinian gazed joyfully at Su Ruan’s small belly, his fingertips quivering slightly, as if wanting to touch it but fearing something, hesitating for a long time.

Lu Shinian never expected his little wife to be pregnant.

It was not part of his life plan at all.

Or rather, in the next ten years, he hadn’t planned for it at all.

Although the Federation has a low birth rate and everyone hopes for offspring, to Lu Shinian, he actually didn’t like children very much.

But thinking of Ruan Ruan carrying his child, his heart seemed to completely soften, unable to conjure any aggression, making Lu Shinian shed all his anxiety and defense.

He may not like children, but he anticipated the arrival of their child with Ruan Ruan.

Lu Shinian carefully cradled Su Ruan in his arms, greedily and contentedly placing a light kiss on her lips.

He didn’t dare to apply too much force, yet couldn’t help but want to hold her tightly.

Su Ruan always slept poorly, and in her half-asleep state, feeling the familiar warmth and touch, she instinctively held him back, her small face nuzzling his chest, and a sudden sense of grievance washed over her.

"Brother Lu."

She called out, her voice pitifully soft, the sense of grievance almost overflowing.

Seeing her awake, Lu Shinian gently asked, "Ruan Ruan, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Su Ruan shook her head, "No discomfort, just..."

She looked up at him, with a hint of coquettishness.

"Want you to hold me."
